Customer Reviews
History
I really love history and this podcast helps me sleep. One critique I have is that I wish they would make some full series that are free to everyone because I fell like too many episodes are locked behind a paywall.
Hehehmomstalker
I really like this this podcast it is a very good podcast. I think that you should have episodes for every one not just the people that buy the thingy. And I also think that you should talk faster. You…..talk ….like……this. That is why I give it a 4 out of 5
Well Done and Thank You!
Thank you so much for these truly calming Calm History stories! Even amongst such a plethora, and I mean plethora of bedtime stories and soothing sleep meditation music podcasts available, I find sometimes this is the only podcast which can really calm me down and distract me from my racing thoughts to get me to nod off entirely, which is the goal right? I love your delivery style, the sound of your voice, and even your silly comedic, timing and humorous comments! You manage to deliver that even in a very low-key way that is not jarring – how perfect! And actually, were it not for the goal of sleep, the stories are truly quite interesting and educational. More more stories, please please! Thank you again, from the bottom of my REM sleep EYEBALLS!
